New! Gluten-Free Hamburger Buns and Donuts
Michelle Fuller, an avid cook, often taught cooking classes. One day, a student asked if she might be interested in cooking for a friend who had a toddler with an intolerance to wheat and gluten. She agreed and soon began learning all about cooking gluten-free meals and baked goods.  She began developing her own recipes and opened Celiac Specialties Bakery & Coffee House. Michelle uses her own gluten-free baking base. She blends rice, potato starch, and tapioca starch along with ingredients such as xanthan gum and guar gum to create glazed donuts and hamburger buns. In the Grocery section you can also find gluten-free Graham Cracker Crumbs.
